I'm afraid it will happen never with this kind of watch

My wife just bought her first mechanical watch, an Hermes Cape Cod automatic. She is really thrilled with it.

Cool watch. I like the double-wrap concept for ladies watches

Yeah, that was what sold her on the watch design (the single-wrap strap that came with it was just a bonus really). Apparently Margiela came up with the double-wrap idea while creative director at Hermes.

Nice watch, but as others have stated, the band detracts from it. A croc in the proper size would look great.

Could I just venture slightly off the specific issue and suggest with the utmost respect that she never wears that green nail polish again...ever. She has nice hands and the natural nail polish makes the whole look more classy and frankly beautiful.
